The basic application of the convolution is to determine the response y[n] of a system of a
known impulse response h[n] for a given input signal x[n]. to obtain y[n] you just have to
calculate the convolution of the x[n] and h[n].

2. One of the real life applications of convolution is seismic signals for oil exploration. Here a
perturbation is produced in the surface of the area to be analized. The signal travel
underground producing reflexions at each layer. This reflexions are measured in the surface
through a sensors network. The signal obtained is the convolution of the reflexion
coefficients times the the perturbation.

3. deterministic signals:

- the convolution is used to compute the response of a specified linear time invariant
system to a specified signal,

- the correlation is used to appreciate the similarity between a signal and its traslated
variants,

random signals:

- the convolution is used to compute the probability density function of a sum of two
independent random variables (based on their probability density functions),

- the correlation is used to appreciate the stationarity of a random signal

4. You can use convolution to compute the response of a linear system to an

input signal. The linear system is defined by its impulse response. The
convolution of the input signal and the impulse response is the output
signal response. Convolution is also the time-domain equivalent of
filtering in the frequency domain.
